Amazon is set to debut Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, co-produced by Paramount Television and Skydance Television on Amazon Prime Video. The series is a reinvention with a modern sensibility of the unexpected Tom Clancy hero. It centers on Jack Ryan, an up-and-coming CIA analyst thrust into a dangerous field assignment for the first time.
With an original storyline, while still maintaining the fan-favourite characters, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan is an action-packed CIA thriller that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats through every twist and turn.
The series follows the titular character as he uncovers a pattern in terrorist communication that launches him into the centre of a dangerous gambit with a new breed of terrorism that threatens destruction on a global scale.
The trailer and key art for the series have been released, in anticipation of its premiere on 31 August to over 200 countries and territories. Watch the trailer here:
